"Venerable Sir, adherents of other doctrines state and declare as follows: 'However many living beings there are in the city of Rājagṛha, no one is able to bring out and display the pleasure or pain of that many beings, even the size of a jujube kernel, or a kidney bean, or a pea, or an urad bean, or a mung bean, or a louse, or a nit.' / How is this so, Venerable Sir?" / "Gautama, what those adherents of other doctrines state and declare is false. But I, Gautama, state and declare this: In the entire universe, no one is able to bring out and display the pleasure or pain of all beings, even the size of a jujube kernel, or a kidney bean, or a pea, or an urad bean, or a mung bean, or a louse, or a nit. / For what reason? Gautama, this Jambūdvīpa continent is declared to be […] in circumference. / If a deity of great power and majesty were to take a large scent-casket with an ointment, uncover it, and saying 'I am going right now,' encircle the entire Jambūdvīpa continent twenty-one times in three finger-snaps and quickly return; would then, Gautama, that entire Jambūdvīpa continent be touched by those particles of scent?" / "Yes, it would be touched." / "Gautama, would anyone be able to bring out and display those particles of scent even the size of a jujube kernel, or a kidney bean, or a pea, or an urad bean, or a mung bean, or a louse, or a nit?" / "No, Venerable Sir, that is not possible." / "For that reason, Gautama, it is said that no one is able to bring out and display [their] pleasure or [pain]."
